FanFest 2011
Was fantastic....Karen and I got there early but not quite early enough....being a Season Ticket Holder - Karen gets certain perks that she kindly shares with me and one was being able to get autograph vouchers before anyone else....we thought we were doing good.....so much for that thinking process....by the time we got to the window they had sold out of Justin Upton, Stephen Drew and Kirk Gibson....so we ended up with Kelly Johnson (Hard Hittin'), Kevin Mulvey, Jarrod Parker, Charles Nagy and then for the last autograph of the day Karen went with Chris Young....I on the other hand had to go with my fav Matt Williams!!!! Was tickled to death that I not only got my picture with him again this year but ended up with an autograph as well and to top it all off....a guy in front of me in line gave me a picture of Matt batting in his D-Back uniform that he signed....I had cut some cardstock to get the autographs on so I could scrap them and then a picture of them next to it.....but this was better yet.
I got a ball signed by Tony Clark as well so our signed ball collection is growing.....we have 7 which include Tony, Randy Johnson, Brandon Webb, Mark Reynolds and I would have to get the others down to see who they are.
We had our pictures taken with Chris Young, Armando Galarraga, Stephen Drew, Daniel Hudson, Kam Mickolio, Matt Williams, Ian Kennedy, Kelly Johnson, Joe Saunders, Ryan Roberts.....
Didn't do to badly since the event is completely free....the tickets for the autographs are only $5 which gives you two autographs and all the money goes to the D-Backs charity which is a fantastic cause and spending the day with a GREAT friend was just an added bonus for a fabulous day!
Thanks KAREN!!!!! Can't wait for the 26th......Spring Training here we come!
Looks like a FUN day. You guys saw lots of people - how cool.
